Still grumpy about spammers breaching our security … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/forum/. 20 months without spam isn't too bad though I guess.

Thankfully the guest posting on our forum has not been breached. Only a registered user managed to post spam 🙂

@thevirtualpeach No thanks. But some petrol and a match to set the spam (or should that be spammer?) on fire would be nice 🙂

I forgot to point out that the forum is https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/forum/. 20 months with no spam … until today 🙁 Damnit!

My ninja anti-spam skills failed today 🙁 No spam on my forum since April 23, 2008 … until today 🙁 Bummer!

Trying to write a hook system for allowing users to add extra functionality into a plugin … ack, brain starting to hurt :p

Unexpected plugin releasing binge … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=904. I figured someone out there is bound to have a use for this stuff.

@Mansell5 Awesome to see you on Twitter 🙂 I'm a huge fan.

New blog post: Free support for menus https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/free-support-menus/

Whew, 99% of one theme done. 100% of a premium support members menu and 0% of the next theme done. Luckilly the next one looks like fun 🙂

Theme Hybrid 0.7 is now available http://themehybrid.com/archives/2009/12/hybrid-version-0-7-theme-release/ thanks to @justintadlock

@wpmuguru If they're in the loop in your blog index, then there will be as many pages as you have in your WP install.

post_type=page is messing up my Next and Prev links … any ideas what's wrong? http://bit.ly/5Md4q1

@bodotdot I was surprised to see how little stuff you get with STATE. I haven't played with it enough yet to help though sorry.

@miroslavglavic I live about 5 mins from a penguin colony so not that far to travel :p BTW, that would take a LOT of stamp licking!

@miroslavglavic Almost no one uses Craigslist here. We can't afford to travel to another city for a bed unfortunately. An air bed would do.

New blog post: PixoPoint Code Comments plugin https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/code-comments/

Anyone in Dunedin have a portable bed my visitors could borrow? Our current spare/borrowed bed is being unexpectedly taken off us tomorrow!

Ack, installed Twitter plugin for Pidgin … BAD idea! Every @reply I've ever received kept getting sent to me every 30 seconds or so 🙁

Does Dunedin have the best net connection in NZ thanks to @wicnz? 2Mb/s download and ~6Mb/s upload with no throttling is freakin' awesome!

WordPress 2.9 is now released http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/12454 and http://wordpress.org/download/

Lesson in life: Learn to price coding jobs correctly. I'm now working for about US$15/hour coz I misjudged how long a job would take 🙁

When I try to update it, Skype says "you do not have internet access". However I can still make Skype calls … go figure!

New blog post: Hover effects in Internet Explorer …. https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/ie-hovers/

@Viper007Bond Yep, correct function. just turned out it was the beta upgrade plugin which went wonky on me. All is fine now 🙂

Nope. WP 2.9 is working fine, it's just the beta update plugin which is playing up.

Jeeze! The WP 2.9 post thumbnails feature is broken AGAIN!

Matt Mullenweg: "How you doin Ryan?"; Ryan Boren: Ahem; Matt Mullenweg: "Ready for 2.9?"; Ryan Boren: "Nah, it's crap!"

Healthline seems to think it's not a problem, probably an allergy. I recall that Meningitis often brings a rash so thought I'd better check.

Argh, thought I just had the flu. Now I'm becoming blotchy, what the heck?

@erenyasarkurt Same here. But I only use Twitter for chatting to tech people, who generally aren't in NZ anyway.

@erenyasarkurt Welcome to the wonderful world of Twitter 🙂

I think WordPress Mu hates me

@markjaquith Thanks for taking the time to respond on the Tavern. Your input is greatly appreciated 🙂 http://bit.ly/7uesON

The wonders of pseudoephidrine never cease to amaze me. Pity they're talking about banning it in NZ soon 🙁

@five15design I am avoiding all contact with living things 🙂 Now I'm off to sleep for a while before doing some more BORING work.

@andrew_rickmann I heard 90% of all flu cases in NZ are swine flu. I also heard 90% of all statistics are made up, so you be the judge :p

I think I might have swine flu 🙁

@cssispoetry Combination of WordPress/CSS. Not stuff I can easily get others to do for me unfortunately otherwise I'd be contracting it out.

@iandstewart In relation to Jeff's question: Are you perhaps making a Thematic framework, like Justin's new project?

Achk, I feel awful 🙁 Hopefully my clients don't mind delays as I'm not being very efficient at getting stuff done right now.

Urghh, woke up feeling awful. Thankfully now have some pseudoephidrine to make me feel better 🙂

Burning out. Too much work 🙁

@robbin_g Glad to hear you found your "widget dragging" problem 🙂

via @photomatt … "it's like the unofficial WP slogan: we suck less with every release"

@robbin_g If you can't drag your widgets around either then it will be a jQuery screwup in your theme or one of your other plugins.

@robbin_g Sorry, didn't see your tweet till now. I bet one of your other plugins isn't enqueing their scripts correctly.

Why would someone complain that I won't help them fix their utterly crap hacking of my FREE software for FREE? Perhaps they are a moron?

@danmilward Depends if it's only for events or for anything involving tickets.

I arrived into work to discover a conference about the internet is on in our building! Thanks to @IRGOTweets for organising it 🙂

Any WordPress'ers out there from Hobart? I'll be there next week if you would like to meet up.

Listening to Jeff Chandler's interview with Matt Mullenweg … http://www.wptavern.com/new-york-matt-mullenweg-interview

@djg Join the club! I have lots to do but am not being very productive because various things are holding me back on each project.

@uberhost You're welcome! Your customer service has been impecable so far! I've been happy with HostGator so you have a lot to live up to!

LOL. Learned my lesson in why not to run WP trunk on a production site :p Broke the whole site for 5 mins while I fixed my post thumbnails!

Purchasing VPS hosting from @uberhost (http://uberhost.net/). Their service and pricing has been WAY better than @HostGator so far!

@BlessYahu If you follow me or email me (https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/contact/), I'll DM with further information.

@davecoveney My first thought was the Norfolk islands, not the UK.

Unbelievably awesome site for creating animations … http://xtranormal.com/. Follow @xtranormal.

Someone is disputing a PayPal payment with me. I have no idea why. Just refunded to save any hassle. Very odd.

@janeforshort That sucks! Some will never be happy no matter how things are run. I've learned to grow a thick skin when organising events.

@Gingerlatte From http://tinyurl.com/ajjy6b … <embed src="text.pdf" width="500" height="375">. Just upload PDF, then add code to WP post.

@Gingerlatte Create the PDF manually, then link to it, or embed it on the page somehow (I've never tried doing that so not sure how).

@Gingerlatte Fillable PDF's are complicated, so I doubt there is a WP plugin which can dynamically create the PDF for you.

@elpie I got twitter search working 🙂 I forgot that I can't write files via my localhost hence it wasn't working. I'll send the code soon.

@Viper007Bond Note: It doesn't matter what order you specify the classes in the HTML, it's only the order in the CSS file that matters.

@Viper007Bond Yep, specify two classes at once. The one which is lower in the CSS order will over-ride the higher one.

RIP Dan Schulz http://tinyurl.com/y8javd2. I spoke to Dan a few days ago, he said he was feeling better. I guess not. Very sad 🙁

@elpie I need it for a bbPress powered site. Would probably just stick it in the theme instead of making a plugin for it.
